This is a 1968 Ford Thunderbird with a 429 Thunderjet engine. This car is an unrestored classic. Survivor! The 429 thunderjet engine is boasting an impressive 360 hp out of the factory! This car is all original save for the radio and landau top. Radio has been repalced by a new CD player w/ remote and usb port. Landau top was removed and roof has been painted black in it's place. The car runs and drives very good. Takes hills cruising at 65 with plenty power to spare. The body is in good shape save for a small dent in the front passenger side quarter panel (shown in picture) but it can be pulled. Original paint is still on car but needs new paint. Has retractable lights in the front grill they both work. Taillights stretch across entire backside of car they all work. Blinkers work. Brakes are good. Have original wheels on the car and are in good shape. Tires are in excellent shape less than 1000 miles on all. Also have the hubcaps but aren't currently on the car but can easily be put on. All of the original outside trim is there (thunderbird emblems on lights, chrome, bumpers, grill) and in good condition. The interior is in good condition, there is one small rip (pictured) on either side of the front seat in the top corner. There is also a rip on the arm rest. All guages work. A/C works! PS/PB. Brights work. Thunderbird emblems on inside door panels there and in good shape. No back registration due, I have the title. No leaks and frame is good. Steers great, no play in the steering. Indicator lights work as well. The CD player is the only thing new in the car otherwise all original. All parts functional and serviceable. It has been very well maintained and is in really good condition for being 45 years old. A little cosmetic work (mostly paint) and this car would not only run good, it would look great. The originality of the car is great down to the pedal rubbers. In this condition with these options the car is booking at around 9,000. Leaving some meat on the bone I feel this price is fair. To get this car and try to find the trim parts and other accessories would be a pain. They're already all there. If you put a little care into it, it would be just as it rolled out of the factory. Also being that it's unrestored you don't have to undue someone elses work. Make it your own. This is a great car. Bid with confidence. Also selling it locally, reserve the right to end auction early if sold locally.

How and why Ford is rolling out Vignale in Europe
Wed, 09 Oct 2013
We know that Ford is positioning the new, upscale Vignale brand in Europe to fill a niche market of customers who want a bit more luxury, a lot more service and the same reliability and dependability that a non-Vignale Ford offers. But so far, we've been in the dark regarding how the Blue Oval will sell Vignale vehicles, how many of them will be created, and what the new sub-brand has in store for the future.
Gaetano Thorel, Ford's European marketing head, recently was interviewed by Automotive News and shared details about Ford Vignale. Thorel says, "The Vignale trim line will be priced like an ST model but attract a completely different type of customer." Specifically, he says it will attract customers in the upper 15 percent of the price band who don't want a performance-oriented ST model. He adds that Vignale cars will be about 10 percent more expensive than Titanium-trim cars. About 500 of Ford's European dealers will sell Vignale Fords, Thorel says, "in areas that make sense." The automaker expects 10 percent of its European sales to be Vignale cars, which equates to about 5 percent of its global sales. When asked if there are any other Vignale models planned beyond the Mondeo, Thorel said, "There is nothing written in stone yet."
Why the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the best since The Crisis
Tue, Dec 30 2014The Detroit Auto Show clearly has its swagger back, and the 2015 edition will be a veritable feast for the enthusiast senses. We're talking serious performance, and it will be exhibited in a variety of forms. Sports cars. Supercars. Muscle-bound luxury cars. They're all set for splashy debuts in January in the Motor City. It's another signpost that companies have recovered from the global economic crisis that gripped the industry from 2008-09. For a while, automakers played it safe at Detroit and other shows. Environmentally friendly cars were important, especially for General Motors and Chrysler that were living on loans from Uncle Sam. Ford, Toyota and other companies generally focused on their best-selling or core models. With a few notable exceptions, recent auto shows have been a bit more buttoned-down than in the past. Boring probably isn't the right word, but austerity has been reality. That's changing. Car companies are making money. Sales are up. Aside from the many nagging recalls – and they are notable – the industry now has the time and energy to make performance cars a priority. That will be offered in hard evidence in Detroit. A year from now when we look back at this auto show, we'll sum it up with one word: Horsepower. But make no mistake, this isn't frivolous. Sports and luxury cars are expensive. They're profitable. They boost images and highlight strengths. With that in mind, here are five significant performance-oriented reveals to watch for when the show kicks off in less than two weeks. 2016 Acura NSX Acura's reborn NSX is a strong bet to earn plenty of votes for our Editors' Choice awards. It's one of the most anticipated – and strung-out – reveals of the year. Think back: we actually saw an NSX concept at the 2012 Detroit show, and Acura has spent the last three years teasing the car in a variety of ways. The slow burn, however, means we know a lot about the NSX. It's will use a mid-mounted twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and run with all-wheel drive. It will also wear an innovative zirconium e-coat paint, a new paint process that Honda says is more environmentally friendly. Honda has also said it will build the new NSX in Ohio, where a large part of the car's development work has been done. The original NSX was produced from 1990-2005 and helped establish Acura's performance credentials in the United States. It was a landmark car and a shot across the bow of Ferrari, Lamborghini and others.
Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.
